 Not necessarily.

Random image from internet - driver unhurt.

Do you have a link to the story?

It's hard to see how someone who was wearing a seatbelt could have escaped injury.

I suppose you noted it was a LH drive vehicle and a rear ender. The logs are entering with the vehicle on an angle, leaving room for the driver. There may have been time to move further out of the way.

No further info. I just did a search for "pole through windscreen" and filtered to show only images. There are plenty of others. I thought I had taken the thread off track enough to put any detail (which I don't have anyway).

Yes they located the driver shortly after. The investigation is still ongoing as far as I know.
